of theft on the part of the person who had
them; and it might go on fixing the value of
different kinds of evidence, until in GRIMM
al cases the jury would be entirely deprived
of its chief function of weighing the value of
testimony, and the accused deprived of his
right of an appeal to the judgment of his
peers. Admit the power of the Legislature
to fix the value that the jury shall give any
particular piece of evidence, and trial by
jury ceases to exist Jas constitutional right
and becomes mere sufference of the law
making power.
The decision OF the court does not, as some
enormously suppose, destroy the competsn-
cy of the payment of liquor tax to prove
illegal sale. 1t simply says that it shall
stand on the same footing as any other piece
of eyidence-that it shall be taken by the
jury for what they think it is worth,
and not for what the Legislature thinks
it is worth. A jury can convict person
indicted for rumselling on the strength Of 1t
alone; it is sufficient evidence still, but it is
not, as the Legislature undertook to make it,
necessarily conclusive evidence. We do not
think that the decision of the court seriously
impairs its value as evidence. Sensible ju-
ries will be likely to regard it, unless ex-
planned, as sufficient evidence ON which to
convict The liquor dealers, therefore, can
get very little consolation out Of this de-
cision.

I hope to go to the realms above
when I lie down to die, I hope
that choirs all clad in white will
greet my wandering eye. know
that TIL be filled with joy, in re-
gions free from care, for angels
tell me in my sleep there are no
kickers there.
Though rugged be the Jasper
pave, no soul will dare complain;
though sunlight shines the ages
through, no spirits call for rain;
though crowns be half a size too
small, no seraphs tear their hair,
and all is JOY above because. there
are no kickers there.
The music may be out oftuue, no
one will hold his cars; the robes
may not be tailor made, thero'll be
no means or tears, the sandals
they may be often worn. none ask
a better pair, for glory to the
Lord Of Hosts, there are no kick
ers there.
And when the celestial council
call for paving on the street, the
man who gets the contract may
work onward swift and feet; no
spirits viii iniunctions bring, nor
oranks nor eroakers swear; the
realms above are free from chumps,
there are no kickers there.
Thsn take me from this vale Of
tears whore oranks come 70 the
front, where men who never work
or toll still lie around and grunt;
I long to wear celestial robes and

The Eatohez Banner is very so
licitous that Gen. ". T. Martin,
President Of the "Little j" railroad
should Be elected to represent
Adams County in the State Senate
beeause he Is railroad man and
would protect that interest, and be-
cause be IS q friend Of the high
schools where "our rulers" are ed
ueated. The Banner seems to think
that Gen. Georges late expose Of
the financial status Of the Univor-
sity, is calculated TO do much harm
to "our ruler" class in the near fu-
ture, and Gen. Martin in the State
Senate might perhaps counteract
that influence to some extent and
hence its great desire for his cleo
ton. "0ur ruler" class viii doubt
less support the Bamess view Of
the subject with great enthusiasm,
but the masses who are becoming
educated on the question Of their
rights and interests have the most
votes, and there is little hope for
the railroad magnates and the Col
lege gentry to continue to pass as
"our rulers" unless they can manip-
ulate the election machinery, so as
to defraud the people. We hope
and believe the Banner would not
endorse such methods to secure
the election Of any Of its fovorites,
and We trust also, that q more care
ful investigation Of the rights Of
the Taxpayers Of the State will
convince the Banner that to tax the
people to educate "their rulers, I"
is not in accord with the principles
upon which our government Is
founded, especially since the aiore-
said arulers" are perfectly able 70
educate themselves.

That the educational interest Of
our children should be placed in
the hands Of one man, however de-
serving is IN conflict with the the
ory Of our free institutions. And
that any one man should have the
power to fix the grade Of teachers
in the common schools according
to his own sweet will and pleasure
is an abomination in the sight Of
freemen. In our judgment, The
whole free school system which
was enacted in "fOrm, style and
volume" by the last Legislature
should be overhauled next winter,
but especially should those fea-
lures Of the law, which authorize
the Superintendent to examine and
fix the grade and salaries Of teach
ers; charge them q fec for exami-
nation and require the holding Of
Institutes be abolished.
We suggest that It would be in
6nitely better to provide, that the
Board Of Supervisors should ap-
point three teachers Of good char
acter and approved scholastic at
tainments in the county, as a board
Of examiners and pay them ont Of
the county treasury. They hav-
ing no axes to grind, no pets to
favor and no spites to indulge
would grade each applicant for a
certificate according to his or her
merit, and there would be no
eherges that one was graded above
his deserts because Of favoritism
and another below on account Of
prejudice.
The power conferred by the law
Cor practiced by some of the su-
perintendents,) arbitrarily locat-
ing or abolishing schools and dis
regarding the wants and wishes Of
a large portion Of the people is as
automratic as the dictum ofa crown
head, and as unreasonable as it is
unjust. In the location Of the
school districts in this county the
law has been practically ignored
and no just rule has been establishs
cd governing the teachers sala-
ries, which are in most instances
fixed at a ridiculOusly low figure,
when scholarship and the labor to
be performed are considered.
The claim is made BY the friends
Of the present system, that the
schools have been conducted cheap
or than heretofore. If this is so.
It can be accounted for upon the
ground, that there have been feleer
schools and the teachers have
been forced to accept loioer salaries,
but nobody can truthfully claim
that the educational interest Of the
county has been advanced, and Eo-
body can truthfully assert that
the schools have been 30 located in
this county as to give three-fourths
Of the oducablo children an oppor-
tunity to attend. We believe in
economy in all things, bnt We
would not economize at the ex-
ponse Of the teachers in the COM
mon schools and the poor children
that attend them. There IS 4
much greater necessity for exeros-
ing that virtue in curtailing the
extravagant salaries Of our State
officials and the outrageous appro-
priations made to many State
institutions, and this necessity will
remain so long as sour rulers" re-
ceive $50, 900 or $4,000 more than
a fair compensation per annum
and we appropriate $4,000 to aid
the education Of less than 1000
boys and girls in the colleges,
while the 444, 900 educable chill
dren in the State must be content
with an expenditure Of $50, 900 Il
the common schools.

The Jackson Oligrachy, it would

the matter In the same serious
light, however, hence, the King OF

pealsd to, by the disgruntled
princes to restrain the enthusiasm
ofthe voters and compel them to

the compIainst Of his loyal retain

his power to help out the buddy

enoe, his royal commands and the
exercise Of bis imperial powers in

tiact from the address Of the

that county is well supplied with
brothers-in-law, who understand
the value Of keeping in favor with
the "State House ring" and hold

and through the workings OF the
infamous election machinery. The
